The author expresses deep regret over the death of their cat, which they feel is their fault. They recall adopting the cat a few years ago and moving to their mother’s farm, where guard dogs were always present but had never harmed any cats before. They would often leave the door slightly open for their cats to explore. However, one day, while they were away, a dog may have chased the cat, leading to a tragic incident.
When they returned, they found signs of chaos in the house and discovered their other cat hiding. It wasn’t until they found the deceased cat lying in the field that they realized what had happened. They rushed to take him to the vet, but it was too late. The vet suspected internal bleeding, and the cat had no pulse when they arrived. The author regrets leaving the door open and worries about the surviving cat, who is searching for its brother. They express feelings of despair and not wanting to continue living, feeling crushed by the loss after having the cat for only three years.
Now, they are sharing their experience online for the first time. They hope their other cats understand what happened and do not think they have been replaced. How do you cope with the loss of a pet?
